Indian power! 1951

"How To Build This Midget Kart" - maybe I'll head down to the used bookstore and see if I can find this issue. Notice how this guy's girlie is gazing in total pride in her man's accomplishment, but I'm thinking she's gettin' a little "aroused" over the whole deal at the same time, too.

"Make Your Own Beach Equipment", I'd kinda like to see that article, too!

If this cover art were done today, the guy would have on a Nomex racing suit, fireproof gloves, a full face helmet, a six point seat belt, arm restraints, "horse collar", and a full rollcage surrounding him.
